What will remove yellow stains from a white pony's coat?shampoo doesn't have any effect!?

our piebald cob has developed yellowy patches on his hind quarters and lower legs, (we think either from lying in his wee or rolling in the sand arena) we have tried all the usual shampoo, but it is not shifting. He suffers fron sweet itch so his skin is pretty sensitive, but we really would like to get him spotless for the showing season! Any advice greatly appreciated! :)What will remove yellow stains from a white pony's coat?shampoo doesn't have any effect!?
They make a special shampoo for cleaning white or light horses!--Cowboy Magic is one of them!--Check with your local feed or pet store!What will remove yellow stains from a white pony's coat?shampoo doesn't have any effect!?
I have two horses both shown all year round! All i use is tescos own blue shampoo, for some reason its really whitening! I dont think anyone who buys it actually uses it on themselves!!!





Either that or cowboy magic although thats really expensive.





Also for his sweet itch use benzyl benzoate, you get it from the chemist and its great at stopping them itching. One year my pony had NO mane, the next i used this and she didnt even rub! Also get a fly sheet to keep him clean :)
I use


http://www.countrywidefarmers.co.uk/pws/鈥?/a> on my gray (he's near enough pure white) and its great - he comes in from the field with grass stains, rest his head on poo everything!) This is brilliant and you dont need to use that much - there is also a spray you can get that has the same effect that you can take to shows with you for emergencys! Or chalk!!! Good luck with yor showing!!!!
There are a number of special shampoos and products out there for this reason. Such examples are CDM Whitener Spray for last minute show preparation and stable stains, CDM Dreamcoat Shampoo for various colour horses, Gallop Stain Removing Shampoo which removes ingrained, stubborn stains, etc. The only unfortunate thing is that theses products are more costly than the usual shampoos but I think in the long run they're worth it. The spray sounds like the best choice to me because it helps with last minute stains etc. Before you buy a product though check with your vet or trainer if it's safe to use on your horses sensitive skin.
Try using chalk, rub it in well then brush it out and it should take most of the marks out.

Try a whitening shampoo. I don't know that they have them for horses but they do for dogs so you will be able to find some either way. The whitening shampoo does wonders. Good luck!
We have palominos, which also stain not only on the body but their manes and tails do too. We use Mane 'n Tail Shampoo and conditioner and like it so much use it ourselves!!! It also re hydrates the hair so it doesn't soak up the stains so bad. (By the way it can be used on horses or humans - I wouldn't use most of the other stuff on myself!) There are other whitening shampoos but they don't seem to have a lasting effect.

chalk always works also there is many shampoo's on the maket designed for grey horse's but as he is a coloured i wouldnt recommend using as will turn his black patches 2 a slightly green tinge.





chalk.
If you can get it, the EZ ALL brand of shampoo is great for taking out yellow stains, and is very good with sensitive skin. Has no perfume or dye, so it is pretty earth friendly to. I have used this on my paints and it works very well.
try white and brite shampoo and take a new toilet brush or a hard brush like a toilet brush and start scrubbing


also try using WD-40..i know it sounds weird but try it...but first try a little on a patch of his skin that is really small so you know he isnt allergic to it.


Also green spot remover from Cowboy Magic too....


good luck!
You could also try a baking soda paste. It's natually whitening and gentle. Just smear it on give it a little time to work and wash out normally. If he gets a spot right before a show have some cornstarch or baby powder on hand to rub into his coat to cover the stain. Quick Silver was the best shampoo we found for our spotted pony it gives a silvery sheen, Quick Color by the same maker whitens as well but gets them snowy white. Good luck

Blue shampoo
try some gas,and a wire brush. Or just paint it whatever color you want. I have a blue pony myself
